Reverb pedals - what are my choices?

Post by fetch »

I'm looking for a new reverb pedal. I've had bunches over the years but it seems there is even more choice now. I've had the following: Holy Grail, Boss RV2+RV3, Dr Scientist Mini Reverberator, Strymon BlueSky, Verbzilla (probably my favourite along with the BlueSky) and the Digitech RV7. The only pedal version I have at the moment is the verbs on my Line 6 M9. The amp I mainly use is my Swart Atomic Space Tone which has a really nice tube reverb. I'd like something a bit more flexible with less emphasis on sounding "like a spring reverb" and more like a black hole.

The options I've looked at are:

- Digitech Super Natural
- Another Strymon Blue Sky
- Eventide Space (don't want to spend that much)
- EHX Cathedral
- TC Electronics Arena
- Earthquake Devices Dispatch Master

I'm definitely looking at the Super Natural and the Blue Sky the most but open to ideas from my ILF brothers :!!!:

If you've never tried one, I highly recommend checking out the Ghost Echo.

The Supernatural will probably get you the closest to a black hole without buying the Eventide Space.

There's also the Red Panda Context. Haven't tried it yet but I love their delay.

I just got my second! It's better than I remember.
Also, the Solid Gold Surf Rider is pretty good! And sounds surprising similar to the Ghost Echo... just more control.

Mr Black Supermoon will make you sound like you're in space (don't know about a black hole though)

I have one and I'm a big fan for the few weeks now I've had it. Love love love the plate mode. Cathedral is amazing and the delay they put in the delay mode matches with the reverb quite well. I enjoy it.

My vote goes to Eterna. Hands down the most "black hole" verb I've played. If you want sway and depth maybe the supermoon. But that doesn't go 100% wet. But seriously. I'd go Eterna if you want deep.

I love my cathedral. The reverse reverb is a really interesting mode. And I love have the blend and reverb time knobs.

Loving my TC Electronics Hall Of Fame! The stock modes are nice but I certainly wouldn't call them black hole-esque. The real fun starts with the toneprint setting where you can now develop your own reverb type. Drone Central :)

Love the WET Reverb. Definitely Hole Material.
The Spring Theory also does infinite reverb.

Don't count out the Muza "M-Ambiance" FD900 extremely versatile and under $100 . Does a LOT.
